A mysterious message

I liked the book "Nancy Drew and the Mysterious Mannequin" because I like mystery books. This one was exciting because it had so many details, twist and turns, and surprises. At the beginning of the story, Nancy's father, Carson Drew, receives a beautiful rug with a hidden message about a missing mannequin. Nancy is excited about the mystery and asks her friends to help her try to find out where the mannequin is now and why it has been hidden all this time. This takes them on an adventure around Riverdale and then around the world. The friends end up travelling to Istanbul, Turkey where someone gets kidnapped and.... well, I won't ruin it for you but it was great!

You won't believe the ending !!

I chose this book because I love mystery books and I really love Nancy Drew Books.A summary of the book is ....Farock sends a rug with a hidden message in it to Carson Drew.Nancy Drew decides to make it a case and find out what it says. The rug wanted Carson Drew to come to Istanbul,with Farock's manniquin. Nancy Drew finds this out and takes Her father,Ned(her boyfriend),Bess and George(cousins),Dave and Burt ( there boyfriends),and Aisha (Farocks lover)to Istanbul to find Farock. YOU WON'T BELIEVE THE ENDING!!

A very detaled book

This book is about a rug who was sent to Carson Drew with no name or address. This was the message woven into the rug:Carson, find mannequin. I love her. Carry her to, well, I can't tell you the rest because you have to read it and find out because I don't want to spoil it for you!

One of The Best Nancy Drew Books yet!

The story starts when Mr. Drew recieves a rug from Istanbul. There is a secret message woven into it and tells him to find a mannequin of his because he loves her. Of course Nancy sets out to find it. It had such an awesome ending. I will let you find out what it is though.
